The outcome for 70 chronic psychiatric patients who had completed a clerical training program at a state hospital rehabilitation center was examined after they had spent some time in the community. Successful completion of the program was found to be the strongest predictor of successful vocational functioning in the community. The only demographic variables associated with this posthospital performance were race, marital status, and living arrangements. Patients who were black, who were or had been married, or who did not live with their parents were more likely to perform at a high level in the community. It is suspected, however, that race was predictive of outcome only because it was highly correlated with living arrangements.
对70名在州立医院康复中心完成文书培训项目的慢性精神病患者在融入社区一段时间后的情况进行了考察。结果发现，成功完成该项目是在社区中职业功能发挥成功的最强预测因素。与出院后表现相关的唯一人口统计学变量是种族、婚姻状况和居住安排。黑人患者、已婚或曾经已婚的患者，以及不住在父母家的患者在社区中的表现更有可能处于较高水平。然而，有人怀疑种族只是因为与居住安排高度相关才对结果有预测作用。
